Dial-Out Connections

Detailed information about the 6530 gateway feature is provided in Section 10,

Configuring the 6530 Gateway Feature.

Dial-Out Connections

Dial-out connections enable workstations on the LAN to use internal modems or

external modems connected to the AWAN access server. By using the proper software, a

LAN-attached workstation can use the AWAN access server to dial out to a remote

system, commercial services, or a bulletin board service (BBS). This feature can

eliminate the cost of equipping each workstation with a modem and providing access to

a second telephone line.
